Golden Palm Tree Resort
The name fits the resort well. Literally! The resort, set at the Sepang beach, is actually made up of houses supported by columns in the sea, while forming a picture of a palm tree from a birds-eye view. Sounds fascinating? Check out whats inside!
The drive from KL took 1 hours 30 minutes. When we reached there, the beautiful beach view was already beckoning us in. We hurried to the reception counter, and was informed that the parking lot was quite far from the counter itself. This is kinda inconvenient, but to cover it, the hotel offers a 24 hour van service for transport between the car park and the counter. Pretty soon, we got into our rooms.
We were brought in a buggy, driven by hospitality. The kind bellboy did well in his job. He deserved the tip. :) We were greeted by the scent of Nipah I believe, that makes up the roof of our rooms. Made up for 4 people, it was comfortable and really cozy. The TV service was awesome!! Get a surprise when you open it. A specially made message will greet your leisure time.
The view was spectacular. The beaches, the sea. Breathtaking.
The swimming pool was also nice, but too shallow for me at 1.6m. But heck, Im a swimmer. That deep is ideal for leisure swims. You can see the mountains of Indonesia from there! Just a "Selat" away!
The food was quite to hotel standards. The usual breakfast, and usual room service dinner. It was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Its not a wonder to hear that the hotel has a 5-star rating. Id give it a 4 out of 5.
Overall
Pros:
-Great hospitality
-Breathtaking scenery
-Convinience (Did i mention it has a gym?)
Cons:
-The too usual food
-The long buffet breakfast wait
(Waited a few minutes just to get myself some fresh baked waffles. Actually this problem is caused by some people taking EXTRA slices of waffles. No Fair!!)
Great place for a holiday? Defienetely.
Sincerely,
The Babbler
